Domestic Short Hair - female
Lani was brought into care with her 3 brothers (Don, Toby and Joe) from a private surrender after his mother abandoned him, where he was bottle fed and nurtured for a few weeks.
Lani is a playful kitten who enjoys a good pat and purrs for more, she enjoys a good game of chasing the string and jumping on your feet when you walk past. As she can get under your feet, our recommendation would be to a younger family home as she can be a bit of a trip hazard.
Looking for an indoors only home.
Desexed, 1st and 2nd F3 vaccinated, wormed, flea treated.
Located in Acacia Gardens, NSW
Lani was adopted on 01 May 2021 after 1 month in foster care
Manx - male
*Update April 2021: Unfortunately he's been in our cattery facility for 3 months now after his foster carer moved interstate. He's coped surprisingly well but he's really overdue to go to a proper home getting the ongoing affectionate and play time that he deserves. *
Bobby likes to walk around the house as though he is boss, he is not shy at all and will make himself at home anywhere. Bobby is fine with large dogs. He hasn't been with another cat but I think he'd be fine with another calm feline friend.
A fairly quiet boy, he is really a delight to have around, he loves a cuddle, loves smooching and when he's not sitting at the window watching the world go by he does enjoy playing. His previous foster carers found he enjoyed jumping out in front of them and running off - only to then come and grab your ankles for a quick nibble (very cheeky). But he's yet to do any ankle nibbling in the 4 months he's been in our cattery.
Bobby loves to wander around the back yard, which we supervise, and is easy to pick up to return him indoors. Ideally he'd like a home with some space to run around, with a safe garden or yard where he can play and explore both inside and out.
Bobby is probably best placed into a home with no very young children as he is quite a large and strong cat, and can play a bit rough for littlies. However he's very easy for older children to handle and is quite smoochy and cuddly with them.
Information about the Manx cat breed and their personalities can be found here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_cat
If you'd like to learn more about this almost dog-like cat, or visit him in his temporary home in Riverstone, please contact his carer.
Bobby was adopted on 30 April 2021 after 2.5 years in foster care
Chihuahua - female
Olive is a beautiful little chihuahua that we estimate to be between 10-12 years old. Olive didn’t have the best start to her foster life, as she was riddled with lumps and bumps all over but she’s feeling a lot better (and a lot lighter) now they've been removed.
Despite Olive's rough start with us, she still proved she has a lot of love to give and would make a great companion for the right person.
Whilst Olive has had many medical issues resolved she still has an ongoing treatment plan involving twice daily eye cleans and drops and fortnightly medicated baths as well as a joint supplement to help with her back legs.
While Olive has been in foster care, some behavioural difficulties have been identified. She has a very high level of resource guarding, is reactive on leash, is very wary around new people and is especially sensitive to touch around her rear end.
Due to Olive's behavioural requirements, she is not suited to a home with children under 10 years old and is best suited in a home as the primary pet with no other cats or dogs.
Ideally we would like to see Olive in a home with previous Chihuahua experience that would be able to devote all the attention to her and is slow paced so she can enjoy her retirement.
Olive is toilet trained, very food motivated and enjoys short strolls where she can roll in the grass and get some sun.
If this feisty gal sounds like the perfect companion for you we would love to hear from you!
Olive was adopted on 30 April 2021 after 4 months in foster care

Leo ..... please do not over look this divine little man he truly is just that DIVINE.
Leo has been a delight to have in care , he loves his people and loves nothing better after a rough play session to snuggle and watch TV with you.
Leo has been in care with 3 adult dogs , he gets on with them all but at times he can annoy them with his full on play , he is also very respectful of the resident cats.
Leo does not seem to mind being on his own so if you are a full time worker I don't think this would be a problem for him.
He loves his food and is litter trained.
Leo has had his first vaccination and has been micro chipped. He is also flea and worm treated. His adoption fee will cover his desexing at one of DCH's approved vets when he is old enough.
He is in care in the Granville area.
Leo was adopted on 26 April 2021 after 2 weeks in foster care

Rusti and his brothers, Remi and Rudi, are Christmas Eve babies, who came into DCH care at 8 weeks old, and while they had interacted with humans their socialisation was limited and they very scared and hissy their first week in care. After their first week, the boys have really come out of their shells and will seek human attention especially for pats and food, and before you even pat them their little engines are revving and their purrs get quite loud. The ginger-nut boys are very active kittens, and their morning and evening zoomies can get quite energetic.
While the ginger-nut boys have come along way with their socialisation, they are looking for a new family that will understand they may hide the first few days and will need time to settle at their own pace into their new homes and families. Being lovers of food they are very food motivated which goes a long way to gaining their trust. As the boys have not been raised with children, families with children will need to take into consideration that this home environment may take the boys a little longer to become at ease and comfortable.
Rusti is a handsome little ginger and is the vocal kitten of the group often demanding attention, and while Rusti doesn’t like being picked up and cuddled, he is very affectionate and sleeps on his foster carers bed of an evening.
Since coming into care Rusti has been raised with other kittens, cats, dogs and bunnies and while he was nervous around the dogs the first couple of weeks, he is a lot more comfortable now and will do the ninja jump at them if they enter a room and he is in a playful mood.
Rusti is ready for his forever home now and he has been desexed, microchipped and he is up to date with his vaccinations and parasite protection.
As we currently receive a lot of enquiries for our kittens, please include relevant details about yourself and your home/other pets, to be considered.
If you are renting, please ensure that you have approval for a cat BEFORE you lodge interest.
You must be over 18yrs old and an Australian citizen or Permanent Resident to adopt an animal from DCH.
Rusti was adopted on 25 April 2021 after 1 month in foster care
DMH - female
My name is Tasha, I came from a group of 4 and did not know people until I came to live with my foster mum. Apparently, I was really hissy and spitty to begin with, but now I accept pats and relax with a purr. Although I have come a long way I still get a bit scared at times so please be gentle when handling me. I'm doing my very best to become more social and have progressed to being comfortable around everyone in the household. My favourite social time is string toy playtime and food time, definitely food time.
During my time in foster I have learned to be more trustful, for instance I now sleep out in the open and am happy to be picked up for a quick cuddle when I am feeling secure and relaxed. I even join my mum on her bed for night sleeps.
I have been around the household doggy and even shared his bed for naps.
I play with the other kitty cats, and like my siblings, I also love cat grass.........that stuff really is awesome. My favourite treat is the dine creamy treats. My mum says I have very good manners when it comes to food.
I am looking for a forever home willing to be patient and allow me to develop trust and flourish over time. So if you would like some company and would love to see me grow into a lovely young fur lady, then feel free to make contact. We would love to here from you.
I am vet checked, microchipped, desexed, flea/worm treated, and my vaccinations are up to date.

Archie is a very sweet, affectionate cat, loves to be by your side and or on you always. He will wait for bed time and cuddle close to you.
Loves getting cuddles and pats, he will stay in your arms and just allow you to cuddle him.
Archie is a very handsome little kitty.
Archie is okay with our rabbit and our dog, however initially he wasn't and took a couple of weeks to get used to them, he would hiss a lot , now he is playful with them and doesn't mind them at all, when we bring in another cat or dog , he doesn't like it and needs time to adjust but eventually warms up to them.
Indoor cat only please.
Feel free to drop by and meet Archie.
